Mele e Pere in City of London, Westminster

Pretty good carbonara, wine options and the desserts are just amazing. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Great Italian food in London!

Celebrated a friend's birthday and had the best time! The staff were friendly and the place had a vibrant and joyous vibe it it. I had pork which was a little bit tough but everyone else enjoyed their meal! Would definitely go again!

Needed a good pre theatre meal and found this place to be exactly what we wanted. Great service from George and good food as well.

Lovely food, friendly service, delicious 'festive' holiday menu at the moment. Good value for money!

Everything was excellent!! Recommend 💯

This is a hidden gem. Went for a friend's birthday and it was perfect! Staff were friendly and there was a jovial happy cosyvibe which contrasted with the heavy rains outside. Everyone enjoyed their food although my pork was a little tough. We'll definitely be visiting again!

A perfect place to eat 200 meters from Regent. All very rich.

Came here for a drink during Cocktail Week and enjoyed it so booked for my birthday lunch with my family. Food was excellent, the servers were so good, unobtrusive but supportive, very accommodating of my 1.5yr old niece who was fascinated by the stairs. I had added a note for some space in case we needed to put the pram next to the table and they gave us a great table witu plenty of room. Couldn't recommend it enough. We didn't feel rushed or ignored. Would book again.

A lovely place to eat with amazing food. Each of the items we ordered from starters to desserts were outstanding. Full of flavour. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Don’t you love it when you book a restaurant for the first time and it turns out to be somewhere you’ll want to go back to and recommend to your friends and family! Instantly felt a good vibe. Staff were super attentive and genuine. Would have been happy to stumble across this place in Italy. Glad I was talked out of booking a more expensive option.

Great place to come either with friends or family. Bad luck for us that we could not order pizza

delicious pastas and the chardonnay was fantastic! tons of options and fairly priced as well.

This place is amazing, great service and food simpyl delicious (proper Italian!!). Strongly recommended!

Very slow service, took 2 hours for food to arrive

Great location and amazing food! Properly made Italian pizza and great selection with vegetarian and vegan options too. Fulvio, the manager, is an absolute gem. He's always going above and beyond to make sure everyone has a fantastic dining experience.

Amazing second experience! We were 4 and the food was outstanding! The carbonara and Fregola (Vegan) were absolutely incredible. My bf ordered pizza and as an Italian, he was very impressed and he quoted 'finaly a good Italian pizza in London'. The manager- Fulvio, 2ent extra mile to provide an outstanding service and the staff were very nice and welcoming. Really recommend it! We love it!

Authentic Italian food! And very good price considering its location in central London + the outstanding service! Loved the experience overall, I will definitely go back again!

Excellent food. Only grumble was asking for steak medium and having to send it back to be cooked a bit more. It was served blue. Other than that, the taste was excellent.

Lovely 3 course meal with prosecco, perfect for the pre theatre with time pressure.

Very good address in Soho. Homemade pasta and fresh, very tasty products, we ate very well and the wine was also delicious. A large room at -1, quite noisy and a few quieter tables on the ground floor, the owner gives you the choice. Alright !

Booked for a pre-matinee lunch on an Open Table deal / recommendation -£25 for 3 courses and a glass of fizz. Very impressed; not sure how you beat this for value in Soho / theatreland. Nice room downstairs, welcoming & attentive (but not fussy) service, good food from a decent menu choice. Perfect for what we wanted. Oh, and the name…”apples & pears”? Nice touch :-)

Restaurant looks good, I ate carbonara which has nothing to do with carbonara and for an Italian restaurant it's a shame they don't know how to do it right, staff are unfriendly, always pushing us to pay and leave. Good atmosphere, good restaurant but something is missing

The food is great, the service is a bit too slow though… forgot to take pics until the last dish~ I will come back for the food and another great time with friend

Bolognese tagliatelle and carbonara were amazing. Pizza Napoli was great as well but it looked like the bottom was a little bit burnt but maybe that's just my taste. Food came quickly as well and the service was friendly. It was quiet when we went in but quickly got busy. Generous portion of burrata for the burrata starter.

Delicious food and great service! We had the set menu for lunch, it was amazing value with burrata starter, steak for main and tiramisu for dessert. Would definitely recommend, thank you!

Me and my girlfriend often go here to celebrate an occasion, and have returned many times because of how fantastic the food is. My girlfriend is coeliac (gluten free) and they have extensive gluten free options, as well as a good wine list and a great ambiance. Would highly recommend!

This was an unexpected gem. Very accommodating staff, they were great with the recommendations & thoughtful. The foccacia was a great to start the experience, really tasty. The duck ragu and carbonara were 👌 and the Tiramasu was 🔥🔥🔥. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Shoutout to Nicola, our waiter.

My daughter, husband and I, came on 31st October for the pre-theatre lunch and it was fabulous! Excellent service and attentive staff. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. Excellent value for money. We don't visit London that often but would recommend to anyone and we will definitely return.

Super friendly and helpful staff, excellent quality service. Excellent cocktails, I took an Elba island and I could have had five more given how good it was. Super recommended place.

Great place....wonderfully relaxed for Central London. Recommend the spag carbonara

We had the pre theatre set menu and it didn't disappoint. Food was delicious and value for money. It was a Wednesday afternoon and not too busy so didn't feel rushed. Glad we went early as could see it was starting to fill up as we left. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We were back for the 3rd time to that restaurant and we tried the pizza this time but we were not that impressed at all for an Italian restaurant and their pizza quality . We also booked a deal 3 courses and Prosecco on here but no one acknowledge that and no one offered us the Prosecco. We sat down 25mn before someone offered a drink other than the water on arrival. So it was ok , not all bad but probably won’t come back a 4th time.

Excellent food and wine, and cocktails!

Italian restaurant. A very homemade meal and it shows that they work with very good quality products. The pizzas are very delicious and with sourdough. The service could improve a little to give them 10/10. Make a reservation.

Super food good service made very welcome thanks a million

Fabulous meal at Mele e Pere, have visited on several occasions with lovely authentic Italian food

A very cool bar with good service. We ordered the Negroni and pizza. 100% recommend.

Excellent restaurant, very good food

Very nice location and restaurant but unfortunately it is way too overpriced and it doesn't taste good for the price. We were very surprised when we received the receipt.

Honestly you pay too much for what you eat ! Watery and untested pasta dishes, not recommended you waste your money! Overcrowded and unpleasant stay!

Went for a pre-theatre meal before seeing the matinee of Moulin Rouge. We both had the 3 course lunch at £22.50 each and a bottle of sparkling water. Excellent value for money and generous portions. We both had the meatballs to start, I had the Margherita pizza, my partner the tagliatelli ragu and then both of us finished with the Affogato. Service charge is added to the bill. Would definitely go back and spend more time in there. A gem of a proper Italian restaurant owned and run by them ☺️

Don’t believe all the other reviews, they lie!! Okay there’s a reason why this place had a booking available on Friday night. Pasta was not good…the carbonara was very soupy. They had salt and pepper on the table which also is a tell tale sign for a tourist shop. Tourists nor locals should eat here. However ambiance was nice, we had a corner table where it wasn’t that loud. Service was also not good, they seemed quite annoyed.

2nd time to the restaurant, good food and friendly staff, recommend.

An excellent option for real Italian food in Soho, London.

The atmosphere was romantic and quiet, this restaurant was suitable for fine dining or group gatherings. The location was very convenient, where close to the theaters and Piccadilly. We ordered 3 courses from the London Restaurant Festival menu, it was perfect. The starter & main course were delicious, especially the squid with chili & cherry tomato sauce.

This has been on my list for a few years now and never got to dine here until August 2024. Unfortunately it was disappointing - ordered the steak medium-well which came out rare and couldn't eat it but they didn't charge us. The other meals were ok. Wouldn't rush back.

Legendary Carbonara and beautiful steak made us very happy

Horrible hostess, unfriendly and rude. Bad service, food is average. The dishes from their lunch menu were made from the leftovers. I didn’t trust what they serve there.

Had dinner on Saturday night. While the restaurant is cute, the person that took the drinks and food order was rude and seemed like we were unconvincing them. The food was very average as the pizza crust was very hard and the chips we ordered tasted and looked like they were cooked at least 3 times before. The pasta was okay. Based on my experience, it is not a place I would recommend.

The waiters are a bit busy turning tables, but are otherwise extremely polite and professional. The dishes are very different, but exude real Italian. To that extent, taste is paramount here.

Excellent pre theatre deal. Service was excellent and food was lovely. Would definitely return.

Lovely as always. Food was tasty, portion size correct and team were professional and wanted to do a good job, thank you and see you soon.

Dependably good food in a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Good value for money.

Went back to Mele e Pere after a few months and we were absolutely delighted with the experience. The service was impeccable and the food was everything and more that we hoped for. We will definitely go back again when we are in the area. Thanks for a great evening.

Really had a good experience here. Thought this maybe slightly more bar than restaurant vibe just due to large vermouth menu but the food really did deliver. The highlights were the duck ragu with truffle and definitely the Fiorentina steak. The staff were great. They let us take our time and enjoy ourselves. Most places do have really specific table turn around but they let us have fun and enjoy it. Would definitely recommend

The food overall was average. I chose the two-course menu, but the bruschetta was poorly prepared, and the pasta wasn’t cooked in the authentic Italian style. It felt more like an American take on Italian cuisine.

Pre theatre menu is excellent value and generous portions. We were short on time but the efficient service meant that we had time for two courses and a few drinks without feeling overly rushed. Our waitress Virginia was superb! We will definitely visit again. 😊

The noise level was not the best. a lot of noise from e.g. a very drunken table who sat and sang loudly and shouted. The food was really good and very large portions = value for money.

I have to echo the sentiments that this is one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Amazing food, exquisite vermouths and very good value for money in a cozy and stylish atmosphere. Service was also top notch. We highly recommend this lovely spot!

Great spot and not too expensive

Great spot and not too expensive

We live one minute from this sweet spot. Every time we’ve dined there Bogdana has been there and makes it like walking into a home. We like to sit at the bar and have tried many of the menu items. Their pizza is yummy, the butter lettuce salad is huge and delicious. I mention Bogdana because she always has a sense of humor, a great smile and completely gets customer service! This is our go-to place, amazing bolognese sauce!

Excellent food and service, very convient location for pre theatre dining.

The focaccia is sooo good! I also like my main dish which was the pasta with duck ragu and truffle, it’s rich but yummy. I didn’t try any desserts as I was so full after the pasta but I bet they are good too. Nice atmosphere and waiters were all very polite!

I highly recommend this place,especially for The Gin lovers. Having a shot of Monkey 47 and a cup of black Americano I finally cooled down after long overseas flight. Of course I couldn't resist either my favorite Gin Mare...and something told me to order pizza prosciutto rucola together with fizzled green beans with garlic and chili peppers combined with San Marzano tomato Tropea onion&basil salad.That was real food symbiosis...

5 stelle sono poche…minimo 10 stelle! 5 stars aren’t enough.. at least 10 stars! congratulations. I’ll miss you. Thkx for everything

Tasted just like Florence 💯💯💯 Super creamy, super delicious 😋

Really lovely place to go before theatre. Very good value pre theatre meal, excellent bolognaise! Friendly and efficient service. Highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere. Good food and service. I ordered carbonara, and it was nice but a bit much peper and salti think, according to my personal taste. The only thing that i didn't appreciate it was that they kept asking me if i was finished, i felt a bit pressured, and i couldn't relax to enjoy my meal slowly as i wanted.

Amazing set menu and bubble ! You can’t go wrong. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed our food. Staff may need more training to do the job as I doubt our waiter was ever a waiter before that day , so it was a bit meh service wise but I guess there is always a start. None the less we will defo be back for that pre theatre amazing deal. Thank you

Everything was 10/10 we will be back!

I had some tasty food and a nice glass of wine. Portion sizes were good, not too much. I think it would have been nicer downstairs, we were a bit squashed in a corner upstairs. Overall it was a nice meal and experience.

We really liked the restaurant. We had carbonara and it was very delicious! A lot of pepper, yes, you have to like it.

Lovely atmosphere and service. Great value with Prosecco included.

Sooo good! As Italian I can say that both Carbonara and Ragù Bolognese Pasta were amazing.

Lovely food, friendly prompt service. Great location too

My second time here. It’s just a great spot that does everything right and is consistent. Delicious!

amazing authentic italian restaurant 10/10 recommend

Excellent food, very nice place, friendly staff.

Really good value..lovely meal and drinks and service was very good. All staff were friendly and friendly

Mele e Pere is a true gem, tucked away on a corner of Brewer Street in Soho. The restaurant has an unassuming exterior, but don’t let that fool you – inside is a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with fantastic food to match. The menu offers well-priced dishes that are packed with flavour and served in generous portions. The wine list is impressive, with a great range of choices, and the lively bar adds to the overall charm of the place. The staff strike the perfect balance – attentive without being intrusive, making you feel well looked after throughout your visit. A must-visit for anyone in the area!

Lovely food and brilliant service. I put a note on my booking that I was attending the theatre and they remembered and made sure we were out in time. A brilliant service and lovely food. Highly recommend.

The pre-theatre is a fantastic bargain - especially if you book online and get a glass of bubbles included! However, the service was slow given how busy the place was - it took 40 mins to prep our main. They did offer a discount to compensate for this which is nice. Very convenient to see Moulin Rouge after!

Gorgeous fresh pasta, we had the Carbonara & Bolognaise - would definitely come back next time we are in London! So affordable too

Food was fantastic. Very generous with the truffle on the ragu and my partner had the fettuccine and really enjoy it too. The focaccia was phenomenal will definitely be back 😊

Had dinner here and absolutely loved it! The truffle papardelle with duck ragu was incredibly delicious as was the tiramisu! I’ll dream of the pasta!

Lovely place, lovely food, quick service. Really enjoyed it.

From a warm and friendly welcome to a nice venue and very good and well priced set menu with good choices this restaurant was excellent. It could not be faulted. I will be returning

We bas a wonderfull time at the restaurant. The bolognese was a bit salty but the Rest was excellent.

Pre theatre meal with my daughter, good food but poor service. Took about 20 mins to get bread, then they seemed to lose our main course order.

Great staff and excellent atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious.

Great theatre menu deal. Good choices and quality.

Terrific delicious lovely independent Italian restaurant. Thank you for ensuring we had time to get to the theatre and enjoy our meal .

We stopped for drinks. Unusually empty for a Saturday night as it is off the beaten track between Piccadilly Circus and Carnaby Street so you can find space of it's just two of you. Mele and Aperitivo Spritz is good, and the focaccia we ordered as accompaniment was delicious. Front of House was caring and professional.

Good was great. Service was poor. We waited forever for our food. Tables around us received their food faster than us. No one offered to refill our drinks. We had to chase the servers for our check. All the delays made us late to arrive at the theatre.

We went there for lunch and had pasta, pizza and steak. We liked it. Untypical for an Italian restaurant was the missing bread to come with the starter - so could be improved especially for the burrata. The steak and fries very a bit salty and the pizza to much cheese. Nevertheless we would come again to have a neapolitan pizza or some pasta.

Good Italian restaurant near Piccadilly Circus, good food and reasonable price. I recommend.

This is a little gem. Ideal for the various theatres nearby. It's a very typical Italian bar/restaurant. We had lunch prior to going to the theatre. Very good welcome. Small set menu but very good value and superbly presented and utterly delicious. Good italian wine/ beer and soft drinks. Good service and friendly staff. It's well worth seeking out and going to. Large eating area downstairs. Clean modern toilets downstairs. Loved it and would go back again without any hesitation.

Lovely meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly but not imposingly so.
